DAYTON, Ohio -- Leonel Valera scored the winning run and caught a line drive for the final out in the Great Lakes Loons' 1-0 win over the Dayton Dragons in 10 innings on Friday.

The victory gave the Loons a three-game sweep, and they move on to visit West Michigan starting Saturday.

In a scoreless game, Valera was on second base to start the top of the 10th per minor league rules. Dan Robinson moved him to third with a groundout and Kody Hoese score him on a sacrifice fly to left.

With runners at first and third and two outs in the bottom of the 10th, Valera caught a liner at shortstop to end the game and preserve the win.

Robinson had three hits to lead the Loons' offense.

Stephen Kolek, Aarin Ochsenbein and Justin Bruihl combined on the shutout, with the win going to Ochsenbein.
